Got crushed because I retired 10 divisions to a province the germans took before they get there, and that opened an enormous gap in the line so they took Warsaw quickly and therefore there was no point on fighting on.

There's also the USSR declaration of war. I can't find that event, I guess it fires when the germans have taken several polish provinces, which ones exactly?

I've downloaded your mod and played two games, first 1 with Germany versus Ai and lost in -43 as normal, then in multiplayer as Soviet Union versus Human Ger. It was 1vs1 and I lost all my divisions in months.

I've noticed that many people says that combat system is realistic and "you should attack in whole front and with panzers and bigger force in place where you want breakthrought", is this? Attack on whole front realistic? Or am I understood wrong? (I read this before my first game as Germany) Well, I tried in France and I beat it in -40 August, after they went too deep in _germany_ and I get them into pocket.

In soviet union I get some nice little pockets, some like 100divs destroyed in first year (dunno how I made it, in new test didn't work) but still lost.
I had 28 panzers and some like 130 inf, no airforces because I can't use them good or I haven't needed them in vanilla so normally I don't build them.

I still have seen in AARs that people have succeeded in -42 to destroy france, SU and are finishing allies in harder difficulty so I do something wrong.

How should I proceed in this mod? It's strange when you beat AI in vanilla in three years and in WiF you lost in three years.. Would people who play this mod help little?

Is those free divisions for AI in some event file, if I delete some of them in future, or does this completely mess mod's settings? I don't like currently much that AI gets free divisions even this makes mod more challenging.

Will there be in platinium version option to download only mod, not those musics, I prefer own choises more.

And in finish, mod's AI is awesome, first time I got into pocket by AI. Thanks and thanks for everyone who answers. :)

So, you should really build and use airforce. That's the key to win WIF battles.
Build less armor and more MOTs/MECHs. I'm not really a german expert, but when i launch Fall Gelb, i attack Liege-Luxembourg to create a stalemate there, break the front in Netherlands and north Belgium and send my mobile corps as well as my airforce there. Then i manoeuvre in order to pocket allied armies in south Belgium and Bourgogne-Champagne. You don't need to attack through the whole front. What you need is to launch at least one diverting offensive. That's it. It takes some time to loose vanilla's habits and get into WIF battle system but once you're in, you can't get back to vanilla. :) You will probably receive more advices from people who know Germany gameplay better than me. But i hope this can be helpfull.

The free units are located in several event files, depending on the country concerned. For example soviets' are in AI_sov.

Platinum version will be split into 3 downloads : db/scenarios/ai/config/map, gfx and avi/music/sfx so you can choose not to download the musics if you wish.

Fernando,

first of all let me thank you and the others who contribute to your WiF mod : I find it awesome and I cannot wait to get my hands on the platinum version !

I have a question for you and/or for anybody else who will be so kind as to help me : I would like to add one nation (i.e. Catalunya) but I am not very good at modding things, so my question is : what is the best ( and easiest) way to accomplish it, without messing up your mod ?

Can I find Catalunya files ( I suppose AI,minister,leaders,unitnames) in another mod ( e.g. New Nations, or EmKeiEn) and copy them without messing up ?

Thanks in advance to you and to anybody else who will kindly help

Mario

There is a misc parameter called HQ Command Limit Factor (value * HQ Leader Command Limit). In WIF (and vanilla) it's set to 2. Check if you didn't change it.

Thanks for you answer Fernando. Its always fine, like you relpy to all our questions.

Unfortunatly everything seems allright with the misc.txt.
# HQ Command Limit Factor (value * HQ Leader Command Limit)
2
Any other hint by anyone, why my command-limits are no longer enhanced by the HQs?

So, you should really build and use airforce. That's the key to win WIF battles.

What Fernando said is shurely true, but its not the only way.
Me playing im most cases with germany:
While I always try to build a big airforce its mainly about airsuperiority. So I´m nearly only building fighters and interceptors, which I rarely if ever use in Ground-attack. Despite some naval-bombers and transports in most cases I only build around 1-3 stuka to ad to the starting ones, sometimes none. Thats sufficient for me. In late game rockets are a nice toy though (or strat bombers of course i you like) - to defend a zero-infra province can be a real horror.
Just look closely to terrain (make shure you have the right troops for it), weather and the traits of your leaders, make shure, you get the combined weapons - all things you dont really need to pay close attention to in vanilla.
The first things I´m changing with sliders is always to standing army, than I "strife(?)" alot to make always shure I have enough suplies and oil to give my troops offensive-support. The boni from exper. und support-level often make the difference i you do this:
What you need is to launch at least one diverting offensive.
Also I feel thats paras are alot of help, if they´re used with care.
And of course I believe HQ to be really important - hope someone can help me with the probs I have with them.

Fernando Torres said:
Oh yes paras are just awesome combined with the length battles. I definitely love them.
And you should post a screenshot or something so we can figure out what's wrong.

Yeah I have one - sorry should have done that from the beginning.
Maybe I´m just blind and its something stupid.



This is Fieldmarshall von Rundstedt attacking from Oppeln. Theres also an additional HQ in Küstrin, that should be sufficient alone.

Really wierd. Try to install WiF again, (just overwrite the previous one, no need to re-install the entire game) and see if that will solve it. If not than you should try to re-install everything.

Yes I already tried to "make friends" with that solution. Its only all those little changes I made to wif ... I cant even remeber everything, all those graphics copy and paste, to get the picture you like etc., etc.
Just pain in the ass If you need to do that again ... ;)
Well war and especially wif isnt funny :p

I think it's just an .exe bug. It could appear sometimes.
Did you go this game on and found the same bug again ?

I stopped playing after the polish campaign, cause I thought france would be really rough that way.
In poland I received no HQ-bonus in any battle - and I have always at least on adjactent HQ present, cause I build lots of them - have 7 at 25. sept 1939.
Of course I exited and reloaded the game to see if the prob persisted - and it did.

Exe-bug? Well I´m a little comp-moron.
Youre guessing just replacing exe alone could probably solve the problem?
